GAUTIER (Judith) - YAMAMOTO (Hōsui). Poëmes De la Libellule. Translated from the Japanese According to the literal version by M. Saionzi Conseiller d'État de S. M. l'Empereur du Japon. Paris : [L. Frinzine et Cie], Ch. Gillot, [1885]. - In-4, 313 x 243 : (55 ff.), 7 plates, illustrated cover. Full blue Bradel cloth, smooth spine, front cover preserved (20th century binding). First edition of this collection of Japanese poems translated into verse by Judith Gautier, with a preface by Tsoura-Youki. It is illustrated on each page with a composition by Japanese painter Hōsui YAMAMOTO (1850-1906), reproduced in chromotypography after the Gillot processes, each printed with a different color ink. In addition, there are 8 color illustrations by the same artist, including one on the title and 7 hors texte. Edition of 820 copies on Japanese imperial paper; this is ONE OF 20 VERY RARE RETOUCHED EXEMPLAIRES, justified in violet ink and bearing the letter N. This edition is unknown to Vicaire, Talvart and Place. Virtually all the illustrations were enhanced by Judith Gautier herself, who signed the cover with her first name in Japanese. A precious copy enriched with TWO ORIGINAL PAINTINGS SIGNED BY HÖSUI YAMAMOTO, one on silk glue, and the second on Japanese paper depicting a floral composition. It also includes an autograph poem signed by the poetess, a copy of the translation of Princess Sikisi's poem in the collection: "Sweet flowers that brush // The roof of our home, // When the hour flees // Or I see you in my tears // Don't forget me, O flowers! // Judith Gautier." The silk painting opposite seems to be an illustration of this poem. A copy in a modest 20th-century binding; a few stains on the boards. First cover only preserved. Spotting and foxing on the front cover and facing leaf. We would like to thank Mr. Frantz Fray for identifying the signatures.
